Rides to dialysis three times a week for Angel in Cambridge
A rota of drivers to Cambridge General Hospital would keep Angel on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Angel has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Cambridge General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Angel can no longer drive. Taxis cost more than the family can pay three times a week.
We're building a rota of volunteer drivers. Each session is 3 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 12 km each way.
Angel is cheerful company. You'd need a car in good condition and a clean driving record. We'll cover your fuel costs, and the family will send you home with homemade food.
Please say which day works for you in the comments.
Thank you for reading my story.

shared this with my family. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Cambridge.
hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Rajkot
Take care, Ariana. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Stay strong, Ariana. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best!
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Cambridge.
you're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 36 people at work. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Ariana. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
keep going, Ariana. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Paris.
This could happen to any of us. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Cambridge.
